Method convpow determines the distribution of the sum of N univariate
i.i.d r.v's by means of DFT
convpow(D1,...) ## S4 method for signature 'AbscontDistribution': convpow(D1,N) ## S4 method for signature 'LatticeDistribution': convpow(D1,N)
D1 |
an object of (a sub)class (of) "AbscontDistribution" or
"LatticeDistribution" |
... |
not yet used; meanwhile takes up N |
N |
an integer |
in the methods implemented a second argument N is obligatory;
the general methods use a general purpose convolution algorithm for
distributions by means of D/FFT.
Object of class "AbscontDistribution" resp.
"LatticeDistribution"
There are particular methods for the following classes, using explicit convolution formulae:
signature(D1="Norm")"Norm"signature(D1="Nbinom")"Nbinom"signature(D1="Binom")"Binom"signature(D1="Cauchy")"Cauchy"signature(D1="ExpOrGammaOrChisq")"Gammad" —if D1 may be coerced to Gammadsignature(D1="Pois")"Pois"signature(D1="Dirac")"Dirac"
